This heater needs fresh air ventilation to run properly. This heater has an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety 
shut-off system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough fresh air is available. See 

Air for Combustion and 

Ventilation, 

pages 7 through 9. If heater keeps shutting off, see 

Troubleshooting

, pages 26 through 28. 

 
3. 

Keep all air openings in front and bottom of heater clear and free of debris. This will ensure enough air for proper 
combustion.

l

 

Where flammable liquids or vapors are used or stored. 

l

 

Under dusty conditions. 

 
6. 

Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner, or similar products, turn heater off. If heated, the vapors from 
these products may create a white powder residue within burner box or on adjacent walls or furniture. 

 
7. 

Always run heater with control knob at Pilot or ON locked positions. Never set control knob between locked 
positions. Poor combustion and higher levels of carbon monoxide may result. 

 
8. 

Do not use heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the 
room heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water. 

 
9.

heater. 

 
10.  Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet could cause pilot outage. 
 
11.  To prevent performance problems, do not use propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100 lb. capacity. 
 
12.  This heater should not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom. 
 
13.  Do not use this heater as a wood-burning heater. Use only the logs provided with the heater. 
 
14.  To prevent sooting, follow the instructions in 

Care  and Maintenance

 (page 25). 

 
 
15.  Do not add extra logs or ornaments such as pine cones, vermiculite, or rock wool. Using these added items can 

cause sooting. Do not add lava rock around base. Rock and debris could fall into the control area of heater. After 
servicing, always replace screen before operating heater. 

 
16.  This heater is designed to be smokeless. If logs ever appear to smoke, turn off heater and call a qualified service 

person. Note: During initial operation, slight smoking could occur due to log curing and the heater burning 
manufacturing residues.
